I offer online consultations and in-clinic consultations (on Fridays in Lennox Head, northern NSW).

Why Chronic Conditions Often Persist:

Conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic pain, migraines, breast implant illness, and hormonal issues are rarely caused by just one thing.

They often involve overlapping layers such as:

  • Nervous system dysregulation & chronic stress
  • Immune activation
  • Gut dysfunction & microbiome bacterial imbalance
  • Nutrient imbalances
  • Histamine or mast cell activity
  • Detoxification burden
  • Chronic inflammation
  • Metabolic dysfunction
  • Latent infections
  • Mould exposure

If all aspects are not considered, treatment may not be effective. My role is to assess the full picture, determine root causes, and develop a treatment strategy tailored specifically to you.

Most people associate histamine with seasonal allergies like runny noses, itchy eyes, and skin rashes. But this powerful molecule plays a much larger role in the body. Histamine is also involved in brain function, gastric acid secretion, immune signalling, and reproductive health. For some, however, histamine becomes a problem because the body can’t break it
